I did post under the emergencies thread for some assistance with this tiny girl, but didn't ask specifically how to syringe feed a very young chick? She was given to me at the feed store when I bought 4 chicks & 2 guinea keets. She has no eyes and appears to be pretty weak, though she is responsive. I am not sure if she has ever eaten. I took her with the hope that I may be able to give her a chance. Now I'm not sure what to do! I made a slurry of chick starter, and added a little bit of sugar too. I am pretty sure she took a couple of sips of water when I dipped her nose in the waterer, but seems uninterested in any food. I used a syringe to squirt a little in, but I don't want to get it into her lungs. She's not terribly cooperative. Would I fill her crop? And how exactly, do I know where that is??
Thanks!
